After the white crane boy disappeared, Li Mu held the dharma sticker in front of him and looked at it. He saw that the dharma sticker was made of a strange material, neither gold nor wood, nor leather nor stone. There was a strange rune on it. The entire dharma sticker was golden and exuded a faint aura.
Golden light.
"Who is this Yuanhua Emperor?"
Li Mu turned around and looked at the six golden dragons pulling Luan Jia. He saw auspicious light filling the sky, auspicious energy rising into the sky, and the six dragons pulling him up all the way, breaking through the void in an instant and disappearing.
Li Mu of the Pan Peach Club has heard of it. It is said that in the Jinchi Cave of Yuting Mountain in the present-day West Pole, there is a Holy Mother of Jinchi, also known as the Jinchi Empress. Nine thousand fairy peaches are planted on the Qingyuntai, and every ten years, she will invite the world
All the fairies attended the Peach Festival together.
The deities who are eligible to be invited are either sacred, immortal Buddhas, or ancient gods who are in charge of the place. At that time, the World Honored Taoist Patriarch will come to support, promote Taoism, and exchange experiences.
Folks in the Great Yin Dynasty would also hold water and land gatherings on March 3rd. Under the initiative of the government, Buddhists and Taoists prayed for blessings for the people and luck for the country.
This day can be said to be a day of celebration between heaven and man.
"I'm not a god, why would you give me an invitation?"
Li Mu took the invitation and was very surprised: "It is said that those who are eligible to receive invitations are either gods and Buddhas, or sages and elves. How come I, a young monk in the Qi refining stage, also received an invitation?"
In the world of spiritual practice, the four major sects of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Demonism are respected as the source of spiritual practice.
As long as you are a monk, as long as you are a human monk, it is impossible to escape the influence of the four major sects' practice concepts.
Only those monks in these four major sects who have obtained the true teachings and achieved Taoism can have their names recorded in the golden book and become the authentic sects of heaven and earth.
If a monk has not obtained the true inheritance of the four major sects, even if he survives the disaster and becomes an immortal, he will only be a Taiyi Immortal, not as good as the True Style.
According to Li Mu's understanding, if you do not have the inheritance of the four major sects, even if you become an immortal, you still graduated from Pheasant University, and formal departments will not recognize your academic qualifications.
Only students who have been admitted to regular universities (reputable sects) through unified recruitment and graduated from prestigious schools (four major sects) will have the Tianting department recognize your academic qualifications and recognize your academic certificates.
Only students with such certificates are qualified to blend into the system and become a member of the system. As for those students who have not graduated from famous universities, even if they are capable and capable, their first academic degree has already determined their fate.
Unless there is someone at home, you simply cannot become a member of the system or become a civil servant.
Therefore, monks without orthodox inheritance cannot join a major force or become a civil servant. After becoming an immortal, they will only be Taiyi Sanshu and cannot join the true stream.
This kind of loose immortal is basically not qualified to participate in the Peach Festival.
In modern society, loose immortals are equivalent to ordinary people in the heavenly realm. They are not qualified to participate in this meeting or that meeting, and have no ability to participate in discussions.
But now, Li Mu suddenly has the qualifications to participate in the conference!
His invitation is equivalent to proof that he has been admitted to the establishment, a certificate for a civil servant position, and he is already qualified to participate in certain high-end meetings...
"The Emperor Yuanhua who posted this is really willful!"
Li Mu put the dharma sticker away, summoned a paper bird puppet again, controlled the bird, and flew to Qinghe County: "Now that I have succeeded, I am still far away from the immortal realm. I don't know if I can really achieve it in nine years."
Have the ability to participate in the Peach Festival!"
His family has passed down the Nine Transformation Yuan Gong, which has incredible supernatural powers. After practicing it in the third transformation, he can call upon the wind and rain, sow the beans into soldiers, and has methods that are not inferior to those of the immortals. But now, he has only cultivated the first transformation to the state of perfection.
, the third turn is still far away.
He himself was not sure that he could reach the third level of the Golden Elixir within nine years.
He didn't encounter anything special along the way. He occasionally saw a flash of light in the distance, but Li Mu didn't bother to investigate.
The last time he flew a bird into the sky, he didn't realize there were so many monks in the sky. I don't know what happened today, but there were so many monks in the sky, and there were even boss-level super masters.
Half an hour later, Qinghe County was already in sight.
Li Mu collected the paper bird puppet, stepped forward in the air, used the space technique he had just realized, and arrived in Qinghe County in an instant.
He landed in the yard behind his jewelry store. When he walked from the yard to the store, he saw Sun Honglie chatting with a customer. He waved to Sun Honglie and motioned for him to continue. He walked out of the store and walked out.
.
After walking along the street for a while, I happened to pass by the gate of the county government office. I saw a middle-aged man in rich clothes standing at the gate of the government office. This man was tall and fat, and his belly was as big as that of a pregnant woman. He couldn't see it when he lowered his head.
to your feet.
Several scholars and scholars from Qinghe County, led by Zhang Shihong, stood in front of the fat man and couldn't help but salute.
These scholars once visited the Wenchang Palace in Jinxiu Mountain with Li Mu. At that time, they were prosperous in their book business, giving advice on mountains and rivers, and were quite elegant. But now when they face this big fat man, they all look frightened.
"You bitches!"
The big fat man pointed at Zhang Shihong and others and yelled: "What do you want to do? Do you want to reduce taxes for Qinghe County? It turns out that poor people come from poor places! The court treats you well and gives you a monthly salary, which is enough for you to eat and drink.
Worry-free.
It's a good thing now, you don't want to talk to the court, but you are actually speaking for a group of untouchables!"
He looked indignant: "These untouchables have houses, land, strength, children, and wives. As long as they work hard, how can they not be able to pay taxes?"
Zhang Shihong saluted and said: "My lord, you are so kind. Qinghe County has been hit by disasters for many years, with frequent droughts and floods, locusts everywhere, and a plague broke out in the county next door. The people have ten houses and nine empty houses. It is difficult to survive, so how can they have money to pay taxes?" The middle-aged fat man said angrily: "That's nonsense! If you get sick, you can just take medicine and see a doctor. How much will it cost? There are many migratory locusts in the dry land, so just catch the locusts and eat them! You can eat both full and meat, killing two birds with one stone.
Isn’t it beautiful! How could there be nothing to eat?”
Zhang Shihong said blankly: "Sir, if they had money to buy medicine, how could they starve to death?"
The middle-aged fat man shouted: "In today's peaceful and prosperous age, when the Holy Emperor is on the throne, how can there be any reason to starve people to death? The collection of taxes is a major matter for the court, how can it be exempted at will? The taxes in Qinghe County cannot be less than a copper coin!"<
/p>
Zhang Shihong stopped saluting and said angrily: "Hao Jingui! You and I also had a relationship in the provincial capital. Why are you now an honest envoy and keep looking up? Can't you see the suffering in Qinghe County?
The suffering people? Are you worthy of the books of sages you have read!"
Hao Jingui sneered: "Books by sages? Books written by sages, I'm afraid the sages themselves don't believe it! Reading books by sages can only deceive the illiterate people. You and I are both scholars. Do we still believe in books now?"
Does it make sense?"
Zhang Shihong: "You! How can this be unreasonable!"
He blushed and said to the few scholars around him: "This guy is really a disgrace to scholars! As soon as he gained power, he showed his villainy! In the past in the provincial capital, he was polite to others and generous with his actions. Everyone
Everyone likes him very much. But they didn’t expect that he would suddenly look like this after not seeing him for a few years, and he became the official ambassador of Yunhe Road!
Several scholars were indignant: "We asked for orders for the people, but he not only refused to listen, but also wanted to increase taxes. He is really unworthy of a man!"
"One day when I pass the imperial examination and get an official position, I will never learn from him!"
"As scholars of our generation, it is our life's great wish to cultivate ourselves, manage our families, govern our country, and bring peace to the world. If we become an official, we will naturally benefit the world. We should not be like Hao Jingui, who disgraces the face of us scholars!"
Zhang Shihong was an old acquaintance of Hao Jingui, and he originally wanted to petition for the people in the hope of reducing tax collection, and Hao Jingui would definitely agree.
But I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for several years, Hao Jingui would turn into a different person. He was completely different from the one who used to be compassionate to the people.
Not only did he not agree to reduce or reduce taxes for the people of Qinghe County, he even wanted to collect them in full, completely disregarding the people's life and death.
"Are you worthy of governing the place?"
When Hao Jingui heard the words of Zhang Shihong and others, he turned and looked at everyone: "A group of lower-class people, after studying for a few years, feel that they have the right to speak? Are you worthy of governing the place?"
He looked at everyone, his eyes full of contempt: "You just failed a few questions and luckily passed the exam to be a scholar. Do you think you are qualified to offer advice?"
Hao Jingui sneered: "A group of small town essayists are worthy of advising on national policies? They dare to interfere with the imperial taxation? Naive!"
